Low pressure off the Florida Coast threatens to strengthen. Here’s the latest
TRACKING THE TROPICS: Activity wants to try and become better organized this weekend
Follow Melissa on Facebook here or Twitter hereWe’re watching an area of low pressure about 150 miles off the coast of Florida near Dayton Beach that currently has winds at 30 mph and unorganized activity, but is threatening to strengthen into a Tropical Depression over the next couple of days.While it’s elongated and not very well-defined at the moment, waters are warm and there’s a 60% chance of it becoming a tropical depression in the next two days.While a couple of the models show the system trying to turn towards our direction, most show it meandering near or moving over the Florida Peninsula late this weekend into early next week. If it does become a tropical storm, the next name on the list is Fred.With this activity bringing in some breezy conditions from the east-northeast today, we look to stay dry for the weekend with scattered shower activity staying at bay and slightly below average temperatures.We do see an increased risk for rip currents today, so keep an eye on the waters if you’re heading out to the coast.The forecast doesn’t stay dry, though. Rain chances return quickly as we start the new workweek.Stay safe!-Melissa
